- Check in the morning, when oil has thoroughly drained from the engine
- Lift your hood. Locate the dipstick. (Unscrew it, if necessary.) Have wiping towel ready. Pull dipstick out
- Wipe the dipstick clean and familiarize yourself with the markings. There should be two marks, one for minimum and one for maximum oil levels
- Completely reinsert the entire dipstick so you get a proper reading
- Pull out the dipstick a second time. Compare the oil level to the marks. The oil level should be at or near the maximum oil mark. If the oil level is near or below the minimum oil mark, schedule an oil change
- Reinsert the dipstick, screw it tight (if necessary) and close your hood
